Maureen Anne Kissinger

March 28, 1983 - September 20, 2023

Maureen (Mo) Kissinger died suddenly of complications from an illness at 40 years old on September 20, 2023. Maureen was born on March 28, 1983. She grew up with her parents, Terry and Mary Jo Bolger, and her younger siblings, Joseph and Sharon. They lived in the close-knit neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland, later moving to Hanover, Pennsylvania. In school, Maureen shone in sports, fine arts clubs, and choirs.

Maureen moved to Newport News, Virginia in her twenties, and met Mark. It was clear to everyone that they were soulmates. They celebrated their marriage in 2012, and over the years, welcomed four children.

She reached the rank of general manager at Wawa, earning multiple awards for her work. After many years of service, Maureen eagerly transitioned to be a full-time homemaker and homeschool educator. She immersed herself in books, art, crafts, and activities. She had great attention to detail in everything that she pursued; directing the education of her family was no exception. To teach and discover with her children brought her so much joy.

Maureen has been an example to many of us, with her passion for finding good books, good art, and fun games – ideally on sale. She loved what was beautiful and true, and she brought light to many peoples’ lives. She could put anyone at ease, with a crossword puzzle in hand or a Jane Austen quote.

She is survived by her beloved husband Mark, and her children Isabelle (Izzy), Aurelia (Aurie), Verona (Oona), and Leonidas (Leo); her parents, Terry and Mary Jo Bolger; her brother, Joe Bolger; her sister, Sharon (Bolger) and William Kabel; her in-laws, Danny Kissinger, Patricia Kissinger, and Tara (Kissinger) Mathis.

Sending love and hugs to family and friends

I am so happy Mark brought you into our lives. You brought so much joy, calmness, peace, fun, unconditional love, understanding and love to us all. Holidays and get togethers were a bit brighter with you there. We had so much fun. You were the best Mom to your 4 little ones. I have learned so much from you. You were my rock. My sounding board. My friend. My daughter. Someone I could always get the best advice from. I love you so much and the journey forward will be difficult without you here. You have touched so many. Such a beautiful soul gone far too soon. Love you Mo ❤️ Love Patricia/LooLaa/ Mom

My Peach, my kindred spirit, my bosom friend; You came into my life unexpectedly. I made ine small decision to try to get an Usborne Airplane Busy Book for free, for my then 1-year-old. Enter, Maureen…who quickly became Mo, very quickly not a single day passed that we didn’t talk. All of these years later; 3 babies treasured and 3 more babies welcomed, so many books read and shared, so many laughs, so many tears, so many homeschool PAYDAY celebrations - all of these years later, you left us just as suddenly. I will miss you for a lifetime, I will love you even longer. Thank you for leaving 4 beautiful pieces of you, and for loving Mark so perfectly that even he is a piece of you. Now we can pour all of the love we still had to give you, still want to give to you, into your family still here. Just as you would want us all to. I love you, my Peach! ❤️

I feel privileged to have met Mo and be there for the birth of her baby boy Leo! Such a beautiful person and lovely family. My deepest condolences to her family.

She was a wonderful person.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Maureen and family, First and far most I am so sorry for your loss of Maureen way too young. I remember Maureen from her time in youth group and I’ll always remember our first trip to Mount St Mary’s for Mount 2,000 and beyond. What an awesome experience for you as a youth and for me as a leader to watch the youth praise and worship god along with our wonderful sleeping quarters on the floor under the loud heaters. May you rest in the arms of your eternal father. May your husband and children continue on holding your memories in their hearts God Bless, Kathi Krichten

My deepest condolences to the entire family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
